Everyone loves it, but it's a NO for me.

I did a lot of research before making this purchase. The pack looks well made. It looks like it would be durable. I like the roll top and cinch strap. None of this was a surprise to me......
Dislikes
What came as a surprise to me was the comfort was JUST NOT THERE. I loaded the pack with 17 pounds and wore it around the house, and back and forth a few times up and down my long driveway and I had some issues. The problem with the pack is that even when properly sized with the hip belt on your hips right where it should be, the main part of the pack hangs down lower than the hip belt and the pack was hitting my butt with every step. (I don't have a big butt, I'm 5'9" -150lbs). Within just a few minutes, I could already feel my glutes getting sore. So I had to return it. Now, I will say this....ENWILD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BETTER THAN ANY I HAVE HAD SINCE I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHEN. (btw, I purchased the medium size)

Adjustable waist belt, rolltop, can easily fit a bear canister.
Dislikes
Hard to access water bottles in the side pockets. Positioning the bottle diagonally helps for accessing but putting them back is hard.

Great fit

I really like the weight and overall features. I just received the pack and was impressed with the construction as well. Looking forward to putting it to the test in August 2020, doing 40 miles on the wonderland trail (Mt Rainier). Got it at a good price as well!

Capability and capacity
Likes
Spot on with prior positive comments about large capacity, allowing max flex for packing. Ext compartment, adjustable hip belt, and overall fit and function are excellent. 6’2” 215lb, large frame fit well.
Dislikes
None. Look fwd to longer treks with the pack.

Best pack ever
Likes
I got this pack to replace a much heavier one. I finally got to use it on a 18 mile trip along the Black mountain Crest trail and Mt. Mitchell trail the pack worked better than anticipated and fit very well the zipper on the brain was easily accessible while hiking and the straps across the back were very useful in strapping down my jacket. Love this pack!
Dislikes
The mesh pockets on the sides could be more easily accessible almost have to take the pack off to get out your water bottle

Quality product/Reasonable Price
Likes
I bought this backpack specifically for my Colorado backpacking trip. It is lightweight and well made. I went out this past weekend on a 10 mile hike with 20 lbs load, and the backpack felt good and well balanced.
Dislikes
The water bottle pocket should have had an opening on the side so you can grab your water bottle without taking your backpack off.

Outstanding Backpack
Likes
I love this thing. When stripped down it is nearly the same weight as the Virga 2 but when fully featured it carries 65+ liters and 35 lbs easily. The adjustable hipbelt is wonderful for somebody like me that fluctuates between 30" to 36" waist during the season.
Dislikes
This pack needs a load. Do not expect it to be a daypack, a lot of the structural integrity comes from loading the pack and cinching down the compression straps.

My favorite pack currently
Likes
I was a little skeptical of its lack of a true suspension system. My skepticism was misguided. This pack carried a 32 lb total weight load as well as any full featured pack I've owned. The "refit" hipbelt is the most comfortable I've worn. The compression system is top notch when the pack is not fully loaded. The removable top lid provides an additional 5 liters of space. This is the first granite gear pack I have owned and I love it. Granite gear will be on my short list for every pack I buy in the future.
Dislikes
I was a little bummed that there are not straps on the bottom, as that is where I normally lash my sleep pad on other packs. However with all the compression straps, it's easy lash it to the side, the back, or even under the top lid if you choose to use it. Water bottles are difficult to get and put back when the pack is full. I simply added some shock cord and locks on the left shoulder strap. It holds a 20 oz Gatorade like a champ. I highly recommend this mod to any pack.
